A highly enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of indolo- and benzoquinolizidine compounds has been developed through the formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of enones with cyclic imines. This transformation is catalyzed by a new bifunctional primary aminothiourea that achieves simultaneous activation of both the enone and imine reaction components.

A copper catalyzed enantioselective formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of formed 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes from α-halohydrazones and vinyl diazo compounds was described. The protocol provides a variety of optically enriched diazo-containing tetrahydropyridazines in moderate yields and with up to excellent enantioselectivities. The present methodologies utilize chiral oxazolines as the chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and feature mild reaction conditions, readily available substrates, and broad substrate scope.

In the manuscript the application of dearomative formal normal-electron-demand aza-Diels-Alder cycloaddition in the synthesis of tetrahydrofuropyridines is described. The developed approach utilizes aminocatalytic activation of 2-alkyl-3-furfurals that proceeds formation of the dearomatized dienamine intermediate. Initially obtained cycloadducts have been subjected to subsequent transformations providing access to tetrahydrofuropyridines or functionalized cinnamates.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have shown that imines can effectively participate in a type of cycloaddition reaction with dendralenes, expanding the capabilities of the Diels-Alder sequence for synthesizing complex polycarbocycles.
- This method leads to the formation of hexahydro- and octahydro-isoquinoline structures after undergoing a second Diels-Alder reaction with a different dienophile.
- Computational studies reveal that the reaction mechanism is stepwise and ionic, and provide insight into an unexpected isomerization of a non-reacting carbon-carbon double bond during the first cycloaddition step.

In this article, we report a highly regioselective method for the synthesis of new fused pyridine derivatives─2,3-disubstituted quinolines and 1,2-dihydro-3-pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridin-3-one derivatives. The method is based on the reaction of 1,1-diethoxybutane derivatives with aromatic and heterocyclic nucleophiles. The isolated compounds are similar to the products formed as a result of the Debner-Miller reaction.

Inversions in the periselectivity of formal aza-Diels-Alder cycloadditions between α-oxoketenes generated by a thermally-induced Wolff rearrangement and 1-azadienes were observed experimentally as a function of the α-oxoketene and the 1-azadiene, as well as the reaction temperature and time. Some unexpected inversion in the diastereoselectivity was observed, too. These variations in selectivities were fully rationalized by computational modeling using density functional theory (DFT) methods.
